JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 8. sequence and series

If \(x=\sum \limits_{n=0}^{\infty} a^{n}, y=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} b^{n}, z=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} c^{n}\), where \(a , b , c\) are in \(A.P.\) and \(|a| < 1,|b| < 1,|c| < 1\), \(abc \neq 0\), then

  1. A \(x, y, z\) are in \(A.P.\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{x}, \frac{1}{y}, \frac{1}{z}\) are in \(A.P.\)
  3. C \(x, y, z\) are in \(G.P.\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1-(a+b+c)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{x}, \frac{1}{y}, \frac{1}{z}\) are in \(A.P.\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x =1+ a + a ^{2}=\ldots \ldots \ldots .\) \(x=\frac{1}{1-a} \Rightarrow a=1-\frac{1}{x}\) \(y=\frac{1}{1-b} \Rightarrow b=1-\frac{1}{y}\) \(z=\frac{1}{1-c} \Rightarrow c=1-\frac{1}{z}\) \(a , b , c\) are in \(A.P.\) \(\Rightarrow 1-\frac{1}{x}, 1-\frac{1}{y}, 1-\frac{1}{z}\)…
